Chen Bei lowered his head and stared at the ground below him.

There was a thick layer of dark red fallen leaves under my feet, and the soft thing was underneath the leaves.

Chen Bei controlled the Thousand Hands Cloak to stretch out and take out the things under the fallen leaves instead of his own hands.

What came into view was a dead little monkey.

The body is still fresh, so it should not have been dead for too long.

The monkey was covered in fuzz, had pale skin, looked lifeless, had multiple lacerated wounds, and had open, white eyes.

There seemed to be something connected underneath the corpse.

Thousand Hands Cloak flips the corpse.

Only then did I see that there was a tree root connected to the back of the corpse!

The roots of the tree penetrated firmly into the body and were closely connected to each other.

Chen Bei frowned slightly, controlled the Thousand Hands Cloak and pulled it hard, forcibly tearing the two apart.

puff!

A stream of dirty blood spurted out.

There was a fleshy hole on the little monkey's body.

Looking at the tree root at the other end, I saw that it had opened a long and thin mouth with a tongue moving in and out, like a living thing!

Chen Bei drew his sword, and with a flash of sword light, he cut off the strange tree roots.

The broken tree roots cried out and trembled violently, though dead yet still stiff.

The injured end was quickly retracted and slid deep into the earth.

Then, all the surrounding trees "came alive", with branches shaking violently and roots moving on the ground.

The tree tumors and scars burst open, making loud noises.

Chen Bei held the Snow Sword in his hand, and a chill suddenly rose all over his body. Frost stretched out under his feet, and it was extremely cold. He glanced around fiercely, ready for a big battle.

The surrounding trees moved continuously, but there was no further attacking action. After a while, they automatically stopped moving.

It seems to be just for scaring people.

Chen Bei did not overreact and put the sword back into the sheath.

He dropped the monkey's body and continued walking.

The map function is not working and it is difficult to tell east, west, south and north.

Chen Bei just moved forward based on his feeling.

I don’t know how far I walked.

There was a large wooden sign hanging on the tree in front, with words engraved on it, but it was covered by some dead plants and could not be seen clearly.

Chen Bei walked closer and cleaned the sign.

There are five words on it - Xiongling welcomes you.

It turns out that this place is called Xiongling.

Does that mean there are bears here?

Chen Bei is not afraid of bears. He has killed more than a hundred kinds of monsters...

He continued on, and walked a long way.

Suddenly, something not far away caught his attention.

He walked over quickly to check.

I saw the body of a little monkey lying quietly on the leaves!

White eyes, wet fur, multiple wounds...it was clearly the monkey corpse that Chen Bei had just thrown away!

He had walked such a long way and now he was back!

This is not a good thing.

There may be an effect similar to a ghost wall that will interfere with Chen Bei's judgment.

Chen Bei thought about it and decided that every time he walked a certain distance, he would make marks and carve arrows on the trees.

He took immediate action, drew his sword, and carved into the tree.

The sharp blade cut through the dry bark, leaving three marks that formed arrows.

Then, a dark red, smelly liquid slowly flowed out from the scratched area...

It's like blood that flows out of a corpse long after death.

Chen Bei didn't think much about it. This forest was full of strange things and there was no need to make a fuss.

He followed the arrows and carved new arrows every few steps.

But he didn't see it.

Not long after he left, the scratches on the tree trunk slowly healed on their own, and the arrowhead disappeared...

Chen Bei was like a lost person, walking around in the woods.

There is no public release date for the game, and even the concept of time is vague.

The occasional chat in the management group did help a bit and made Chen Bei feel the presence of people.

[There aren't many people in this game. Only twelve.]

[The players are all lost.]

[Let them be confused for now. After a while, I will give them guidance.]

-

From the conversation in the management group, we know that there are twelve players in this game, which is less than the previous game.

Chen Bei was quite happy after reading it.

At least it proved that this was not a single-player game and he was not so lonely.

If you run into other players, you can form a team.

Chen Bei continued walking, and suddenly he was tripped by a tree root and almost fell.

He looked down and saw that his feet were caught between two tree roots.

He pulled his feet out with force, and the two tree roots automatically retracted and retreated like living things.

It seemed as if the tree roots were deliberately entangled with him just now!

This strange Bear Ridge Forest is emitting malicious intent.

Chen Bei got angry and looked up.

Instead of being trapped here, it is better to go to a higher place, maybe you can get a panoramic view of the whole situation.

Thinking of this, he fully opened the Thousand Hands Cloak, pushed hard on the ground with his feet, and his fighting spirit burst out, shooting him high into the sky.

Thousand Hands Cloak stretched out, grabbed the surrounding tree trunks, and pulled Chen Bei to continue upwards.

When he rises to a certain height.

The surrounding trees mutated suddenly, and began to grow wildly one by one. Their crowns quickly expanded, and their branches spread out and intertwined with each other.

This caused the woods to become even darker, as if night had fallen.

Chen Bei didn't believe it, so he swung his snow sword and chopped, trying to forcibly create a passage.

The intertwined branches were so strong that even the Snow Sword couldn't cut them.

Chen Bei took out the Wrath of All Things rifle and fired a burst of shots upwards.

He also replaced the corpse gas heavy artillery and fired two shots.

But all to no avail.

All attacks were unable to destroy the treetops above.

The branches were so tightly woven together that not even a bird could get through, let alone a person.

Chen Bei tried various methods but to no avail, so he had to give up and retreated back downstairs.

This Bear Ridge Forest is like a big cage, trapping the players inside.

Chen Bei had no choice but to keep moving forward. He activated two kinds of pupil techniques and used the Blood Pupil and the Eye of Truth to look around.

The trees around are alive, with vitality flowing within them.

I can't see anything else.

Chen Bei continued walking and soon came across a special place.

There is a circular open space on the ground, which is relatively clean and has no piled leaves.

On the open space, many monkey skeletons were placed in a specific way!

Chen Bei walked closer to check.

Only skeletons remained of these monkeys, with a small amount of flesh and blood remaining on them, and it looked like they had died not long ago.

The specific arrangement seems to be some kind of ritual.

Chen Bei investigated the spot for a while but had no clue.

Maybe it's just a place used to create the atmosphere of the game.

He left this place alone and moved on.

As we walked, the situation changed again.

There was a faint strange humming sound in the distance.

This sound has never appeared before.

Could it be another player?

Chen Bei became alert and followed the direction of the sound. He went in the direction of the sound.

And so we walked a long way.

Finally, we got close to the source of the sound.

I saw a tall figure next to the trees in the distance, busy with something with his head down.
